MEADVILLE, Pa. (PRWEB)

“2nd Sunday Morning Glory”: a heart-touching account that sheds a gleaming light on the readers, allowing them to be enlightened that suicide is not a solution to whatever problems they face in life. “2nd Sunday Morning Glory” is the creation of published author Jane Ann Crenshaw, a woman who exhibits her love for the Lord in everything she does. She is a person of courage, understanding, and faith. She has also been a student of life, listening to the rhythm of the world and family.

Crenshaw writes, “In the absence of the preacher, Jim the elder was called to visit a woman who had lost her husband. She was desolate and was threatening to commit suicide. Jim was called by the mother of a child who attended the Sunday school. I went with him that morning. As we drove to this home, Jim was at a loss as to what he could do or say. This was something out of his realm of expertise. We had prayed before we left the house, but Jim was anxious. God was putting this woman’s life in his hands. I picked up the Bible from the console and said, ‘Maybe I can find a verse that will help you.’ I opened the Bible randomly, and a verse jumped right out at me. I read it to him, ‘For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour, what you ought to say.’ (Luke 12:12, NIV). As we pulled up in front of her house, Jim said, ‘Mark that page.’

“We quietly walked into this home. Jim was directed to the woman in need. He talked with her, prayed with her, and read the scriptures of comfort and encouragement. He was with her for a long time. When the situation became calm, we took our leave, and the woman who contemplated suicide continued to live. We never heard if she made a place for the Lord in her life, but we knew that He had taken up permanent residence in ours. We felt it. We saw it. We were lifted by His might and encouraged to keep on keeping on. God is real!”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Jane Ann Crenshaw’s new book shares a wonderful reading experience to the readers as the author lays down all her experiences from the ups and downs of her life.

With this book, Crenshaw aims to give the readers a hope to hold in life so they may be able to realize the beauty of life and see it the next day in glory.

Mediaplanet and Actor Victor Garber Team Up in the Fight Against Diabetes

Leave a comment


News Image

With 29 million people diagnosed and an estimated 8 million undiagnosed, about 10 percent of the entire United States population is living with diabetes


NEW YORK (PRWEB)

In support of National Diabetes Awareness Month, Mediaplanet today announces the launch of this December’s edition of “Diabetes Awareness.” This campaign partners with leading healthcare professionals, associations, and relevant influencers to educate millions on the causes, symptoms, and treatment of diabetes, as well as research being done for a possible cure. It debunks myths often associated with diagnosis and inspires hope for the diabetic community.

With 29 million people diagnosed and an estimated 8 million undiagnosed, about 10 percent of the entire United States population is living with diabetes. Diabetes remains the seventh leading cause of death in the United States and is associated with countless additional health complications such as unhealed wounds that can lead to amputations, eye damage leading to possible blindness, and kidney failure. Even though the disease is extremely common, many are still unaware of the causes and symptoms of diabetes and therefore lack the tools and resources needed to successfully manage a diagnosis.

Cover star, actor Victor Garber, says in an exclusive interview that new technologies have made managing his type 1 diabetes a lot simpler than when he was first diagnosed at age 12. But he still works every day to find peace and acceptance in his daily life. He says, “I still have a love of acting and being with my close friends, which provides a balance that usually helps me deal with the intricacy of type 1. When I see the disease as an opportunity to grow, that is usually a very good day.”

This campaign was made possible with the support of Victor Garber, Brec Bassinger, MiMedx, SweetLeaf, the American Heart Association, Medela, Swift Medical, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation, DiabetesSisters, the American Optometric Association, Mila Clarke Buckley, and Jillian Rippolone.

The print component of “Diabetes Awareness” is distributed within today’s edition of USA Today in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Washington DC/Baltimore, ad any more here markets, with a circulation of approximately 200,000 copies and an estimated readership of 600,000. The digital component is distributed nationally, through a vast social media strategy, and across a network of top news sites and partner outlets.

Consegna Pharma Receives NIH Research Grant to Develop CP216, a Sustained-Release Naloxone Treatment for Opioid Overdose Reversal

Leave a comment



PITTSBURGH (PRWEB)

Consegna Pharma Inc. today announced a research grant awarded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), valued at approximately $218,000 for the continued development of CP216, the company’s sustained-release naloxone formulation for the reversal of opioid overdoses. The award is being made under NIH’s HEAL (Helping to End Addiction Long-termSM) Initiative that was launched in 2018 to improve prevention and treatment strategies for opioid misuse and addiction and enhance pain management. Consegna’s award is one of 375 grant awards across 41 states made by the NIH in fiscal year 2019 to apply scientific solutions to reverse the national opioid crisis.

70,237 drug overdose deaths occurred in the United States in 2017. Opioids—mainly synthetic opioids such as fentanyl—are currently the primary driver of drug overdose deaths. While naloxone has proven invaluable as an opioid overdose antidote, naloxone suffers from a very short duration of action (about 1hr.) and has been found to be less effective against newer, long acting synthetic opioids including fentanyl (about 7-10 hrs.). This leads to a highly lethal and increasingly prevalent phenomenon known as “renarcotization”, wherein an overdose patient revived with naloxone can re-enter an overdose state due to residual fentanyl in the body.

“We are pleased to be among the organizations selected to receive a Phase I award,” said Larry Zana, President and CEO. “Consegna has dedicated itself to the mission of addressing the opioid crisis with novel polymer-based formulations. We believe that CP216 has the potential to save lives by reducing the incidence of renarcotization.”

CP216 is a novel microparticle formulation that provides an immediate release of naloxone to reverse an overdose, followed by a continuous release of naloxone over the next 24hrs to prevent renarcotization. This Phase I STTR award will enable Consegna to conduct non-clinical studies and activities to demonstrate proof-of-concept for CP216.

“It’s clear that a multi-pronged scientific approach is needed to reduce the risks of opioids, accelerate development of effective non-opioid therapies for pain and provide more flexible and effective options for treating addiction to opioids,” said NIH Director Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D., who launched the initiative in early 2018. “This unprecedented investment in the NIH HEAL Initiative demonstrates the commitment to reversing this devastating crisis.”

This grant award is supported by the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health under Award Number R41DA050386. The content of this press release is solely the responsibility of the company and does not necessarily represent the official views of the National Institutes of Health.

About the NIH HEAL Initiative: The National Institutes of Health launched the HEAL (Helping to End Addiction Long-termSM) Initiative in April 2018 to improve prevention and treatment strategies for opioid misuse and addiction and enhance pain management. The NIH HEAL Initiative aims to improve treatments for chronic pain, curb the rates of opioid use disorder and overdose and facilitate long-term recovery from opioid addiction.

Winner Announced In Billiard By Brandt’s 2019 International Billiard Design Competition

Leave a comment


“I was really impressed by the creativity of all the designs. However there was one clear winner for me…” Philip Parkinson, Founder and Owner of Philip Martyn Design


MIAMI (PRWEB)

Andres Ortiz topped the list for Best Billiard Table Design with his piece “Unapologetically Horizontal” in this year’s International Billiard Design Competition. When asked to describe his work he replied, “Through the use of the horizontal axis this pool table aims to reimagine the way an object occupies space. Opposing itself to the well adopted vertical hierarchy that most pool tables employ, it uses horizontal planes to glide through space in an unimposing manner, while visually engaging with the user. The object becomes a manifestation of a repeating horizon line.”

Created by Billiards By Brandt, this years International Billiard Design Competition was comprised of industry experts including past principal of Society Billiards and luxury real estate agent Shelly Abramowitz, VP of City National Bank and member of the Haitian-American Chamber of Commerce Natacha Alexandre, owner of Golden West Billiards Rob Brostoski, Sr. VP of Parker International Linda Hein, Principal of J.D. Ireland Interior Joe Ireland, Executive Team Manager of Brooklyn Boulders Paul Kabacinski, VP of JKL Design Ashley Langer, Founder and Owner of Philip Martyn Design Philip Parkinson and Studio Manager for Hospitality IDDI Ashley Squires.

“Without full knowledge of the technology available within the billiard Industry, it is always a pleasure to see how designers push the boundaries of standard materials to provide a bespoke statement piece not to be found in any catalog or interior space to date. This in turn forces a continuous evolution and challenge to the construction technology of a time old tradition that is the game of billiards,” Ashley Squires- Studio Manager for Hospitality IDDI.

The 2019 International Billiard Design Competition evolved through a need to recognize and celebrate creativity, innovation and those pushing the bounds of creative excellence in all forms of billiard table design. Dan Brandt is dedicated to furthering creative form in the billiards industry and administers this distinguished competition with the goal of raising awareness of individuals who have the creative talent to go beyond the ordinary.

“I was really impressed by the creativity of all the designs. However there was one clear winner for me – I was especially impressed by the originality, the design and the aesthetic quality of the winning submission. It really took on board the competition brief and came up with an innovative, stylish and exciting billiard table! I can’t wait to see the finished product,” said Philip Parkinson- Founder and Owner of Philip Martyn Design.

About Billiards By Brandt:

Similar to commissioning artists for their unique abilities, Billiards by Brandt clients can commission Dan for one-of-a-kind pool tables made precisely to their liking and desired specifications. “Billiard tables are not only art, but also can showcase art,” says Dan, and no better illustration of this is the table he produced to exhibit internationally acclaimed artist Walter Gaudnek’s painting “St. Denis and Goya’s Missing Skull” as billiard cloth. He’s also the expert go-to whenever there is a special request. Just ask Linda Hein, SVP of The Parker Company. Whether it is a lacquer white billiard /dining table with matching shuffleboard for a Miami luxury condo, or leisure gaming equipment for use on private islands, she contacted Dan who made it happen on time, and also oversaw the installation.

Billiards by Brandt produces all items cradle to grave under Dan’s direction and supervision, and ensures clients an efficient process by having him as the point of contact in all transactions. Dan helps guide architects, designers, developers and even inspired homeowners towards the table they envision. And once production begins, an open invitation is extended for all clients to tour the workshop and see their tables being made.
